Facing Reality!

Today in Port Charles a few people had to face a new reality.  For some it is in the post reveal from Michael and for others it's coming to terms with the face Siobhan's a spy.

I know sometimes Carly can be over dramatic and controlling when it comes to Jason.  She has her faults there is no denying that.  However, I am a Carly fan and today is another reason why.  Carly's marriage is in the gutter because her husband has a hero complex to save his old love Brenda.  Her oldest son has finally been able to tell her the hell he lived through in prison.  Today I wanted to stand up and applaud her for apologizing to Abby.  Carly didn't have to do that.  She could have stayed away from the hospital.  But she decided she needed to be strong and mature by apologizing to Abby.  Carly has accepted Abby as part of Michael's life now.  She realizes Abby is the person who has helped Michael so much where she and Jason could not. Carly has accepted Michael friendship with Abby because she knows Abby is good for him despite of her current profession and age.  That show amazing maturity for Carly who let's face it can struggle with maturity sometimes.  Carly is angry and rightfully so.  Carly was kidnapped my his ex-husband's crazy wife, Claudia, while she was in labor. Claudia then tries to kidnap her baby and her oldest son burst into the cabin and kills Claudia to save his mother.  She had to witness that horrible set of events, then to watch her son be hauled off to prison for the crime.  She then had to dance around Michael ever since he was released because he could not talk about what happened.  Then she found out what really did happen and it was horrible.  As a mother Carly has to be in so much pain.  She is so strong to be able to stand tall through this all.  So yes, I think she is completely justified for pointing a gun at Dante.  Hell I'd love it if she killed him. Dianne could probably find a creative way to get the charges dismissed as justified homicide because let's face it that is what it would be.  Carly has had to face some bitter realities in the last couple of days. 

I really hate Brenda I really do.  She's such a self-absorbed witch.  Brenda's conversation with Carly just made me hate her more.  Here she is obsessing about the shade of flowers she has for her stupid wedding that will be putting everyone's life at risk and her's.  Can you be any less shallow Botox really? Her line to Carly about being Michael and Morgan's step mother really got under my skin.  Brenda has no rights to Carly's sons because Sonny has no legal right to them.  If they want to develop a relationship with Botox that is up to them but she has no right to start spouting off to Carly she's going to be their new step mommy.   Sonny's wives have a tendency to either end up dead or go insane or both so Botox better watch out what her fate ends up being. Botox might be facing some realities about what it will really mean to be Mrs. Sonny Corinthos. 

Michael and Abby are facing a new reality today as well.  Michael is finally able to talk about what happened to him in prison because he was able to prevent it from happening to Abby.  The act of saving Abby empowered Michael to finally face his own reality and tell people about it.  Abby has come to accept the reality that she is not bad for Michael.  She is good for him and even Carly made that fact clear today. 

When Nicolas was faced with the reality today that Brooklyn might not be available much longer he finally jumped up.  He realized he has a good thing with Brooklyn and he needs to take it to the next level to find out what is there.  I think these two both know each other have dark sides and are no saints.  However, both of them seem to believe in second chances.  Nookie are cute together and I like their new reality of possibly becoming a real item. 

Jason is dealing with all sorts of new realities lately.  You have to feel so sorry for the guy.  The child he has always wanted to protect was raped.  He has to deal with the fact he is stuck protecting Brenda and now he knows Siobhan's a spy.  Jason really needs to go to Sam and just hide at her place for a few days.  He needs to lock the rest of the world out and talk to the one person in his life that listens and is his saving grace.   I really hope we get some quality time between Jason and Sam.  He needs her right now more then ever.  I hope the Valentine's Day episode is amazing for these two.  They need to get lost in each other for a while. Let's hope Sam is on this week because I am going through withdraws.
